Our Sweet Stacy lost her battle with cancer yesterday December 2, 2012. She has left us all with a part of her in this blog not just about whom she was but also about how to live life when faced with great adversity. Her mantra of never give up, never lose hope, never stop fighting and to stay positive has inspired us all. Stacy had a wonderful way of making all of us around her feel special. Stacy got great comfort in writing the blog posts sharing through this blog her journey over the past year and how their have been many ups and downs. A Stacy would say many more ups than downs as that is her perspective on life. All of you that have followed her blog most likely have been even further drawn into the Person, Woman, Mother, Daughter, Friend and Partner that Stacy was. Stacy has taught us that there is no certainty what tomorrow will bring.
Stacy has four wonderful children that were her greatest achievement in this life. She has expressed to me how blessed she has been to be their mom and that they will always, always be a part of her for eternity and she loves them more than words can express. She felt blessed to be a mom not just once but four times. Stacy felt blessed to be a mom and for these four beautiful children. Justin (Jay) her oldest has such a beautiful spirit and heart and is cool, calm and collected and has the ability to roll with the punches and this will take him fare in life. Jay your mom thought the world of you and loves you unconditionally. Rayanne her second oldest who is so beautiful inside and out, with such an intuitive, kind and inquisitive spirit. Rayanne you will always, always be a part of you mom. Stacy would say remember life in not about what you do it is about being successful in whom you are and remember to be good to yourselves and the rest will fall into place. Her twin boys Joey and Tanner. Joey with the little twinkle in your eye you have always brought your mom Joy and have a beautiful spirit and your mom is so proud of you. Tanner your mom is so proud of you, she is so thankful you were able to let down your walls as scary as that was it meant so much to your Mom. You were always quick to help your mom and always seamed to really know what she needed and she was so proud of this and how she was able to have you all back and close to her. Stacy wanted you all to remember that she is always going to be a part of you, loving you, holding you and cherishing you forever and ever. When you look up into the Sky and see that brightest Star this is your mom looking back on you. She will be with you through your life and wanted you to know how special and wonderful it is to be your mom
All of us that got to experience Stacy have been blessed by her, there was never a stranger in Stacy's life as she could talk to anyone and always made others feel comfortable. Stacy treated everyone with kindness and dignity.
This blog as the title says was not so much about her life as about her "Journey Through Cancer" and in this journey she has taught me so much about life. Stacy wanted everyone to know how much the support she received through this blog has meant to her and how thankful and blessed she felt to have been able to be touched by and to have touched so many. Stacy was at peace with her life and had left nothing unsaid, had left no loose ends and once again such an example to us all. Stacy has a wonderful Family and is survived by Lynn and Gary her parents, Chris her brother, Her four beautiful children Jay, Rayanne, Tanner and Joey and Many, many close friends. I as her partner Jason have been blessed to have been at her side through her Journey Through Cancer and am in Awe of the Beautiful, Courageous, Strong and Inspiring woman that is Stacy Anne Mckillican.

Stacy went where there was not a path and has left a trail for us all to follow!
We all will have Stacy with us each and everyday.

Stacy you are a beautiful woman inside and out. Thanks for everything you have taught me in the short 23 months I have had the pleasure of knowing you. I know I am a better wife, mother and friend because of you. May your soul rest in peace and your spirit live on. RIP my friend.

Stacy.. Amazing Women
ReplyDeleteA mother, sister,daughter and a friend....
The Lord saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you
and whispered, "Come with me"
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren't the same
Since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,
We'll meet again someday."
Luv ya Connie
Thank you for this, Jason. I didn't need to meet you to see clearly that you are an angel. Thank you for loving Stacy and standing by her. I wish you all and only the best. Sarah
